Programming new remote control for Valet

Hi everyone -

I use a DEI Valet 552T to unlock the doors in my 1990 Jeep. Works great for that and was a lot cheaper that replacing the OEM remote controller.

I want to program a new remote control fob but I'm running into a problem. The sequence for programming the receiver to recognize a new control fob is:

1. turn on ignition.
2. push the program button to set the receiver to learn the new remote.
3. push the button on the new remote until the receiver responds.
4. release the program button on the receiver.

First problem is I don't have anything wired into the ignition switch since I'm only using the lock/unlock function. Which wire on the receiver needs to connect to what wire in the ignition for me to be able to program the new remote? Are there other connections that need to be made?

Second item is - which channel on the receiver do I select to to learn the new remote? I'm thinking this would be channel 1.

Thanks for any help.

on the DEI 552 side, is the yellow wire in the 5-wire harness, or is it in the 10 or 12-wire harness (lost count)?

thanks
